Try booting ubuntu with the safe graphics option. If you cannot find
that, boot normally then push control alt f1, to get to a terminal.


After doing that use an editor like nano to edit (nano)
/etc/X11/xorg.conf and under

(command sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf to edit this file).

Section "Device"
 put Driver          "vesa"

so it will now look like:


       Section "Device"
                 Driver "vesa"
      EndSection

After you do this type  sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop  then type sudo
/etc/init.d/gdm start
Hopefully this will work for you.
